In a double loop bong setup, the calcium deposits and such will not be an issue if the radiator is submerged. You'd just have to CLR your showerhead every once in a while. Hooking up to a float valve would be a briliant way of doing this.
Having evaporation happen on your core, though, is a big ass no-no. Think of the buildup of minerals you'd suffer. Seriously consider a coiled 1/2" copper tube submerged. Since there are no elbows, it would have much less resistance, and in the end you'll have plenty of surface area. Also, it would be submerged in the coolest part of the system: the place where all the freshly cooled water is chillin'. One other problem with having the core suspended above the fan is that the core would lower airflow, requiring a more powerful and louder fan to get the desired CFM through the unit.
Seriously, suspending a core is bad news, requiring distilled water or failure will come soon. Submerging a core will hamper water flow around and through it. Submerging a coil, on the other hand, there is no real resistance in any flow direction. There was a guy on OC forums, I think, that was setting up something similar to what I am describing. Check that out.
